Is this going to be a DIY project, or hire out. Before you do anything, check local building codes and if doing yourself, pull the permits. See if these help.

Before you do anything, check your city or county building codes. You may not be able to build and then you'd either be fined and/or made to tear it down. There is also a setback whereby you can't build past a certain footage to your property line.
A lot more than you realize goes into adding a garage. If you don't know what you're doing, find a builder that can help you through the process. You might want to do the painting or trim. You may need: a permit and maybe variance, footings, foundation, framing, windows and doors, roofing, electric, plumbing, hvac, insulation, sheetrock, tape, plaster and sanding, flooring, paint and trim. Then there are required inspections that a builder knows about and when to call for. It's really best to leave the important parts to the professionals.
